Event description

Description

This 9-week peer support group program is aimed at supporting individuals through a deeper exploration of their grief experience following the death of a child.

This program provides a supportive and non-judgmental space to be in grief, to share and to listen; where those who’ve experienced the loss of their child, can connect with others who’ve lost a child.

Peer groups help reduce the isolation that many people experience in grief and provide hope that healing is possible. This peer support group is facilitated by trained facilitators who’ve also experienced the loss of a child, and have received support and want to help others heal. The program is overseen by a professional bereavement consultant.

Attendance is limited to 10 participants who must meet eligibility criteria. (Please complete pre-registration form, to follow, within Evenbrite.)

The program runs every Thursday, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., from May 4th to June 29th, 2017.

As Bereaved Families of Ottawa does not receive any ongoing government funding and relies solely on donations to deliver its programs, the suggested donation for this program is $250 (with income tax receipt).

If you can donate in installments, or can make a partial donation, or don't have the ability to make a donation, please contact our office at 613.567.4278 or janed@bfo-ottawa.org. We have a limited number of subsidies available.
